  Meanwhile, in some remote and far-flung territory, a little tribe who are unique speakers of a very rarely used language are holding their breath. They dare not make a peep for if they do, the Witnesses will jump on them, send a bevvy of suited translators to their homes and swiftly print the brochure "Is There Life After Death?" in that unique, rarely used language.

  For the native speakers, it will be all downhill from there because Jehovah will say to them on the Day of Judgement:

  "My people went to the trouble of warning you in your very own language and your brazenly ignored them. Even when they told you they had passed printing their tracts in over 700 languages, you dared yawn to their faces. Off with you into eternal annihilation, you vile and disgusting pagans".

  United Bible Societies reported that the Bible, in whole or part, has been translated in more than 2,530 languages, including complete Old or New Testaments in 1,715 languages, including 55 sign languages, and the complete text of the Bible (Protestant canon) in 531 languages, as of November 2014. [1] According to Wycliffe Bible Translators, 2,883 have access to at least a book of the Bible, including 1,023 languages with a book or more, 1,329 language groups have access to the New Testament in their native language. It is estimated by Wycliffe Bible Translators that there are 1,860 languages (representing around 180 million people) that have yet to have any form of Bible translation. They also estimate that there are currently around 2,195 languages which have projects to get the Bible translated in progress.

  Looks like "apostate Christendom" under the guidance of Satan the Devil (sic) has translated the Bible into over one thousand more languages than true Christianity, a.k.a. Jehovah's Witnesses under the guidance of Jehovah and Jesus.

  It is somewhat amazing that such stupid, ignorant people can learn all those languages. Becoming a good linguist or translator is no small task.

  The New World translation of the Holy Scriptures has also been translated into "Dumbese" (a.k.a. Revised version for dummies) to compliment The Watchtower magazine and its translation into Dumbese (a.k.a. Simplified Edition).

  Now this is THE BIBLE not some garbage in a magazine.

  It is amazing that they have only translated their own bible into 120 languages, either in whole or in part, they are not specific about that.

  They are more interested in translating their own words rather than the word of God.

  The less they translate the scriptures, the better.

  For the preaching of the cross is unto them that perish foolishness, but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

  As Steve 2 says. Its rather like the claim that so many Bible-believers constantly state, i.e., there are thousands of New Testament texts from the 4th century onwards.But just because a lie is repeated many thousands of times does not make it any less of a lie.

  *Noteworthy is that there are no manuscripts of any complete New Testament writing from the 1st century so we have no idea of what changes were made to the origianl texts.

  Translation is a nice money spinner for them these days - besides the money they get from potential new recruits, their property scheme also includes lots of "regional translation offices" popping up all over the place, like the one in Wales.

  jwleaks hit it right on the head...long before the WTS existed many self-sacrificing people put the "message" the real one the bible into many languages so they could read it in their native word. It has taken the WTS years to do the any similar and have ridden on the work of wicked non-jws. Because jws rarely read outside the WTS words, most are happily ignorant of the facts.
